Outstanding Designer, Oz Go

impressed me with his outstanding

designs on the Philippine Fashion Week

Holiday Collection show. I somehow imagine the Old or Vintage Manila from the print he used as his garment. I don't know why but I think his creation from the last Philippine Fashion Week Holiday

2013 really standouts for me because it is so Filipino. It might sound weird because you can't see the Filipino in it. But this Photo below really makes me feel it so Filipino in the skirt that has like a sun on the side.

OZ had his formal education in designing at Fashion Institute of the

Philippines.

His creations has been featured in various magazine and worn by

celebrities most especially her sibling Rachelle Ann Go.

So Lets Know him more…

How did you first become interested in Fashion?

-Hmmm as early as I can remember when I was about 5 or 6 years old I would always draw my mom's wedding gown on the wall, floor, table everywhere...

What qualities does a designer need to have?

- Qualities that a designer need to have? Hmmm Innovative, decisive, and punctual

What are the challenges you had experience in the fashion

industry?

-Probably trying to get my name out there...It's hard to market yourself specially if you're just starting you need a lot of connections in this industry.

Where do you get your inspiration for your collections?

- My early collections were mostly inspired from futurism and architecture But I also love the feel of vintage and ancient eras... I always try to fuse ideologies I got from Fine Arts to fashion...

Designers that you look up?

Designers I look up to are Manish Arora, Alexander Mcqueen, and Ricardo Tisci Internationally, who do you thinks is the best muse of your

designs?

-Muse would be Daphne Guinness

If Coco Chanel is alive and she invited you for a talk, what is

the first thing you will ask her?

-If Coco was alive now I would ask her how does she think of Karl Lagerfeld designing for her...

If Anna Wintour asked you to have a dinner with her and she

asked you to describe and discuss Philippine Fashion, what

will you say?

- I would say to Anna that there are a lot of talented and very fashion forward filipino designers that needs funding and highlighting internationally...Because sometimes that is a big problem with designers the budget! Even if the vision is there and you can't put it into the actual garment/clothing it won't work
